Red Velvet Cream Cheese Brownies

Red Velvet Cream Cheese Brownies are magnificent! The brownie layer starts with a Red Velvet cake mix that’s mixed with chocolate chips or chocolate chunks and either pecans or walnuts. The cream cheese layer is like a cheesecake layer with coconut. The two layers are swirled together to marbleize and voila! The outcome is amazing.

These delicious brownies are a take off on my Cream Cheese Brownies which happen to be our most favorite brownie recipe in the world! Instead of using a fudge brownie mix I swapped out and used a Red Velvet Cake Mix. It was wonderful. If you’re into Red Velvet desserts, then this one needs to be at the top of your “to-do” list!

One of the reasons I like this brownie so well is the addition of coconut to the batter. Yes, I’m a coconut fiend. I like it in almost any dessert. When I first sampled Judy Norton’s Cream Cheese Brownies several years ago when we were attending Hillcrest Baptist Church in Cedar Hill, she had added coconut to her recipe. I’ve kept up that tradition.

If you’re looking for a spectacular brownie for holidays, potlucks, baby showers, or any other special occasion–or perhaps just because you love chocolate, then you’ve got to make this delectable treat soon. Red Velvet Cream Cheese Brownies is a dessert your family is sure to love. Better make up a batch soon because you’ll never be able to get enough!

Red Velvet Cream Cheese Brownies are rich, decadent, divine!

You won’t be able to put this brownie down!

Every mouthful is delectable.

Here’s what I did.

I used these ingredients for the cream cheese layer.

Soften cream cheese and butter in a mixing bowl.

Add eggs, flour, sugar, and vanilla.

Cream with an electric mixer until smooth. Add coconut.

Fold coconut into the cream cheese batter.

I used these ingredients for the brownie layer. You can use either walnuts or pecans and either chocolate chunks, chocolate chips or even miniature chocolate chips. All work fine.

Place Red Velvet Cake Mix into a mixing bowl. Add oil, water, and an egg.

Cream with an electric mixer until well combined.

Stir in chocolate chunks and diced walnuts.

Stir with a wooden spoon to combine.

Grease a 9×13″ glass baking dish. Spread half of the cream cheese filling into the bottom of the prepared dish.

Dollop half of the red velvet brownie batter over top of the cream cheese layer. You can smooth the top a little if you prefer.

Cover brownie layer with remaining cream cheese layer.

Now dollop the rest of the remaining brownie layer on top of the cream cheese layer.

Using a knife or wooden spoon, swirl the two layers together bringing the cream cheese layer up to the top and marbleize the brownies.

Bake at 350 for about 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

Red Velvet Cream Cheese Brownies make great holiday treats!

These brownies are great for tailgating parties, backyard barbecues, or special occasion brunches.

I had a free WP site, too, and you still have access to plug-ins that will allow you to have Pinterest buttons on your blog. If you go into your dashboard there should be a “plugins” link. Search for “new” plugins. Type in “Pinterest.” There are tons to choose from but I would get one that’s well rated. I can’t remember the one we used to use before I started self-hosting. they have all kinds of great plug ins that do a lot of amazing stuff. You just have to search for them. The installs are a couple of clicks of the button to activate and that’s it! I wouldn’t overload your blog with plug ins though as they tend to slow it down if there are too many and some of them interfere with other programs. But a Pinterest button is a real necessity! 🙂 Thanks for stopping by again.
